Steam or sauna after TKR - safe?
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi, I'm 6 weeks post TKR and have had hydrotherapy a week age. I'm going to my local pool tomorrow which has a steam room which I loved before I had the surgery. Is it still safe to sit in the steam room or the sauna after Total knee replacement. I was thinking as the new knee is metal - is there a danger of burning it?!!
